Please take note that I have only ever played on Windows Vista and Windows 7 - If you’re a Mac user I cannot guarantee these will work the same. I’ve played the Sims for a very long time and since playing the Sims 3 on many different computers and running into (probably) every single error you can have with this game I have found many fixes and have now got my game to a point where it runs smoothly and I rarely (touch wood) have crashes.
I have decided to make a big long list of helpful tips and programs I use to help make your game run smoother, prevent crashing and solve crashing issues you may be having!
